ASSEMBLY
•
Apply thread seal tape (not included) to the threads and screw the air hose (40) into
the base (1).
•
Apply thread seal tape (not included) to the threads and screw the air valve (52) onto
the air hose (40).

BEFORE OPERATING THIS JACK
Before initial use, a pressurized air supply must be furnished. The hydraulic fluid level
must also be checked before use. Then thoroughly test the jack for proper operation prior
to its actual use. If the jack appears not to be working properly, it may be necessary to
bleed its hydraulic system of excess air.
CHECKING HYDRAULIC FLUID
Air bubbles can become trapped inside the hydraulic system thereby reducing the
efficiency of the jack. Purge the air from the system if lift efficiency drops.
•
Place the slotted end of the jack handle (54) assembly over the release valve (4) and
turn 1-1/2 turns counter-clockwise.
•
Remove the oil filler plug (16) on the side of the jack reservoir (15) by gently turning
counter-clockwise.
•
Rapidly pump the handle assembly several times to purge the air from the hydraulic
system.
•
T
urn the release valve screw clockwise until snug using the handle assembly.
•
Top up jack reservoir (15) with a high quality hydraulic jack oil as described on page 12.
•
Replace the oil filler plug (16).
NOTE:
Before first using this tool, the hydraulic ram may need to be purged. Some air may intrude in the
hydraulic system due to movement during shipping.
